Because modulation of myelin can, in turn, affect several aspects of conduction, the concept has emerged that activity-regulated myelination represents an important form of nervous system plasticity.

Neuronal activity can rapidly tune axonal diameter and can promote oligodendrocyte progenitor cell cycle re-entry or direct differentiation into oligodendrocytes.
Quoted textsource-backed
We highlight the observations that neuronal activity can rapidly tune axonal diameter, promote re-entry of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells into the cell cycle, or drive their direct differentiation into oligodendrocytes.
Neuronal activity modulates oligodendrocyte development and myelination in vivo.
Quoted textsource-backed
recent evidence has shown that many aspects of oligodendrocyte development and myelination can be modulated by extrinsic signals including neuronal activity. Here we review our increasing understanding of how neuronal activity regulates oligodendrocytes and myelinated axons in vivo
Activity-regulated myelin formation and remodeling that significantly change axonal conduction properties are most likely to occur over days to weeks.

We suggest that activity-regulated myelin formation and remodeling that significantly change axonal conduction properties are most likely to occur over timescales of days to weeks.
